Emily Ratajkowski wowed everyone at the star-studded 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 6. As I expected, she managed to captivate the crowd with her stunning outfit choice.
During fashion’s biggest night, when numerous Hollywood stars opted for safer floral ensembles, Emily decided to go against the grain. She preserved the enduring allure of the classic sheer dress trend and, in essence, revealed more than enough to spark the imagination.

Having attended the Met Gala since 2015, the 32-year-old American supermodel has become a regular on the red carpet, known for her elaborate and breathtaking looks. Undoubtedly, she knows how to make a statement at such a prestigious event.
Her interpretation of this year’s “The Garden of Time” dress code was both daring and fitting, perfectly aligning with the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
Embracing Naked Dressing in Sheer Versace Embellished Gown
Stealing the spotlight in one of the boldest looks of the evening, Emily Ratajkowski made quite an entrance for the occasion, sticking true to her signature style.
She graced the carpeted Met steps in an exquisite archival Atelier Versace gown from the Italian luxury fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2001 haute couture collection, sourced from Los Angeles-based Tab Vintage.

Considering the strong bond Emily has cultivated with the brand over the years, not to mention her becoming one of the label’s official faces in 2023, it’s no surprise she turned to them for her attire.
I must say, her entirely transparent dress is a fitting choice given her penchant for embracing risqué and naked fashion. I admire how she effortlessly showcased her assets. And let’s be honest, with a figure like hers, who wouldn’t?
Emily’s long-sleeved outfit was embellished with intricate twig-like silver crystals cascading down her chest before the exquisite embroidery gradually transformed into swirling motifs of delicate leaves and flowers.

The bejeweled vintage garment hugged her figure snugly and seamlessly transitioned into a patterned see-through skirt, gracefully trailing down to the floor, forming a delicate train.
At the rear, the dress featured an open-back silhouette with a substantial slit descending to the top of her tailbone, teasingly revealing her backside.
To maintain the modesty of her look, the New York Times best-selling author opted for minimal nude undergarments, including a matching Stringys Dawn panty, subtly concealed beneath the sheer fabric.
Accessorizing with Matching Crystal Sandals and Diamond Jewels
Emily Ratajkowski perfectly complemented her dazzling attire with her choice of footwear, elevating her ensemble to the epitome of intricate glamour.
For her feet, she slipped into a pair of René Caovilla Chandelier stiletto sandals adorned with hand-stitched crystal drops, drawing inspiration from the opulence of Venetian chandeliers.

Crafted in Italy, these sandals exuded luxury with their delicate baby crystals, distinctive coiled snake motif, and upper bands that added to their allure.
Fashioned from satin and premium leather, the pair boasted an almond toe design and a 4.1-inch stiletto heel, subtly elevating her already statuesque figure.
Styled by Jorden Bickham, I admire how Sebastian Bear-McClard’s ex-wife enhanced her attire with an array of gold and diamond Chopard jewels from the brand’s High Jewelry collection, adding even more glitz and sparkle to her look.
Emily adorned her ears with a pair of Chopard Haute Joaillerie earrings embellished with 108.808 carats of yellow diamonds set in 18k yellow gold, complemented by a matching Chopard Haute Joaillerie bracelet featuring 30.09 carats of yellow diamonds set in 18k yellow gold.

On her fingers, the “My Body” author donned a matching Chopard Haute Joaillerie ring embellished with 10.76 carats of diamonds set in platinum alongside the radiant Briony Raymond 8-carat diamond Sloan solitaire ring.
I appreciate how Emily extended the glamour of her ensemble beyond her dress and accessories. To perfect her look, makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez curated an enchanting makeup palette incorporating shades of silver and charcoal, enhanced with coral blush and a nude finish.
Meanwhile, hairstylist James Pecis fashioned her long brunette locks into a sleek, spiky updo, allowing a few curtain bangs to cascade gracefully down her face.
Radiant in Champagne Dolce & Gabbana Satin Slip Gown at the 2024 King’s Trust Global Gala
A few days before the grand event, Emily Ratajkowski graced the third annual King’s Trust Global Gala, formerly recognized as the Prince’s Trust Gala, held on Thursday night, May 2, at Casa Cipriani in New York City.
Demonstrating her ability to captivate attention, she arrived at the occasion clad in a sophisticated champagne-hued satin slip gown by Dolce & Gabbana, sourced from the Italian luxury fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2002 collection.
The vintage attire boasted a figure-hugging silhouette that gracefully draped her form, featuring a boldly plunging V-neckline that descended almost to her navel, showcasing her ample cleavage.

Her dress featured halter straps that elegantly wrapped around her neck, reminiscent of a trailing scarf. The straps flowed down, creating an ethereal effect as they billowed behind her. At the same time, the open-back design further enhanced its captivating charm.
The floor-length skirt, culminating in a delicate train, imparted a sense of refinement and concealed her choice of footwear. I assume the mom-of-one slipped into a pair of metallic gold sandals to harmonize with the monochromatic theme of her ensemble.

Styled by Emma Jade Morrison, Emily opted for understated accessories, choosing a selection of diamond jewels, including dazzling drop earrings and a sizable cocktail ring.
For her makeup, she enhanced her features with lustrous contours and opted for a nude lip. Embracing the essence of Old Hollywood glamour, Emily styled her trademark dark brown locks in voluminous soft waves, parted to the side.
